Alexa POV
I turned around when I heard the sound and took a cautious step towards it, it was then that I realised I wasn't alone and three bounty hunters sprung out at me, blasters blazing. I gasped as the shots whizzed past me and activated my lightsaber, quickly deflecting the bolts back at them.
Why does it always have to be me?!
As we fought I took note of their faces, one of them was a human, the other was a Rodian, neither of them were familiar, and the third was a Trandoshan, however it wasn't T'doshok.
"Skywalker!" I shouted, but before I had time to process it he was at my side, wielding his blade as he assisted in sending the bullets back at the bounty hunters.
"I thought we were going to stick together."
"At least I found them, right?" I retorted.
We just as we began to push them back, Ahsoka, Kenobi and Rendal appeared behind the bounty hunters, blocking their path. The men fired shots at them, but had to duck when the blasts rebounded off the lightsabers and flew back over their heads. When they realised they were outnumbered and surrounded the human and the Rodian lowered their weapons, but the Trandoshan gripped his blaster tighter and snarled at us.
"Where is the queen?" Obi Wan asked.
"Why should we tell you? We would die first." The Trandoshan replied.
"Oh really? Well that can be arranged." Anakin pointed his lightsaber at him threateningly.
"Anakin." Kenobi warned.
"We should at least give them a chance to reconsider. After all I doubt they want to spend the rest of their lives in a Republic prison." Ahsoka said.
As the Trandoshan's refusal to cooperate continued I study the other two. The human appeared to be the "strong, silent type" as he never said a word, but otherwise didn't show signs of submissive behaviour, but the Rodian on the other hand...
"You." I addressed him. "Tell us exactly where the queen is." I growled menacingly.
"I.... Uh...." He didn't seem to know where to look.
"Tell them nothing!" The Trandoshan instructed.
"Tell me." I hissed, gripping my lightsaber tighter in my hand.
"N-No..." He replied unconvincingly as he looked away. I watched where his eyes were drawn and smiled under my hood before running in that direction.
"Alexa where are you going?" Rendal called after me, but I didn't stop to explain.
I ran through the hallways, using the clue from the Rodian and the force as my guide. I would find the Queen and then we could get away from here.
Rendal POV
I couldn't understand what had made Alexa run off, the bounty hunter hadn't told her anything, so how did she know where to go. I looked at Master Skywalker in confusion, but he kept his eyes trained on the bounty hunters.
My master then spoke to me, "Go with Alexa."
I nodded then quickly ran off in the direction I saw her go in.
I managed to catch up with her and as I ran beside her I decided to ask her, "How did you know where to go? The guy didn't say anything."
"Not with his mouth, but his eyes said everything." She replied in between breaths. "Come on, I sense we're getting closer."
